Hi,
I'm trying to find some written evidence to present to the powers
that be that clang/llvm is ABI compatible with GCC 4.1 linux
64 bit.
This would allow me to work with clang/llvm at my day-job and
I would like nothing better!
This is a pretty big app(millions of lines of code), so it would be
interesting to see how llvm/clang behaves.
Better warnings/errors and cutting down on build times
would be huge wins.

Hi Øyvind,

that be that clang/llvm is ABI compatible with GCC 4.1 linux
64 bit.
both clang and gcc-4.1 are supposed to conform to the platform ABI (if they
don't then that is a bug), and thus be ABI compatible.
Ciao, Duncan.
Starting with which version?
I think GCC last changed the C++ ABI with version 3.4.

All versions.

Sorry, I meant from which version of clang? I'm using Ubuntu 10 and
I was wondering if clang/llvm 2.8 would do it.
clang --version
clang version 2.8 (branches/release_28)

Perhaps I better try the latest, got an error when I tried 2.8:
In file included from testsuite/test.cpp:8:
In file included from ./testsuite/precompile.h:4:
./util/precompile.h:17:12: fatal error: 'iosfwd' file not found

C++ support in clang 2.8 was poor.
Ciao, Duncan.
It was supposed to work for quite a while now, but a bug related to
this (where Clang got it wrong) was fixed just yesterday:

That should go in to 3.0, but for now I guess for best results you
should use a recent trunk version.
I'll try to build & install clang from svn/git and see how that goes...
Hmmm... it crashed. Last time I tried to build it it worked. I'll try
2.9 release sources.

Usually this means that clang / llvm is miscompiled by your system compiler.

make sure you're not using the broken one.
